Freedom of Information (FOI) requests
The North East Ambulance Service is commited to being as open as
possible and as such welcome FOI requests.
There is a form below where you can submit your requests, but
first why not have a look through the other FOI request that have
been made during the last three years, you may find that the
information you're looking for has already been published!
You can click here to check out our FOI log of
previous requests and responses.
Should the number of hours required to obtain and provide
information under the Freedom of Information Act exceed the £450
threshold (of £25 per hour - set in the Freedom of Information and
Data Protection [Appropriate Limit and Fees] Regulations 2004), the
Trust is not obliged to comply with the request. It should
however, and it is obliged to do so, offer advice and assistance
under Section 16. The Trust will endeavour to discuss with
the applicant, the possibility of refining the request to cost
less.
The Trust does not at present charge for materials used to
provide responses to FOI requests, however, it is entitled to do so
at a cost to be determined by the Trust, should the response
require significant resources to be produced. The Trust would
make that cost known.
